ovh-cli

An Ovh command line interface to allow easy interaction with the Ovh Api

Usage

Run the ovh-cli command to see the usage and the available commands.

Currently only a very small sub-set of Ovh's Api are available.

Configuration Quick Steps

1. Create an Ovh application

Create an Ovh Application to get the application_key and the application_secret (create-an-application).

• OVH Europe
• OVH US
• OVH North-America
• So you Start Europe
• So you Start North America
• Kimsufi Europe
• Kimsufi North America

2. Create the ovh.conf file

In order to enable ovh-cli, you need to create an ovh.conf file (configure-your-application).

[default]
endpoint=ovh-eu

[ovh-eu]
application_key=<value>
application_secret=<value>
consumer_key=<value>

Fill the endpoint param with one of these values:

• ovh-eu for OVH Europe API
• ovh-us for OVH US API
• ovh-ca for OVH North-America API
• soyoustart-eu for So you Start Europe API
• soyoustart-ca for So you Start North America API
• kimsufi-eu for Kimsufi Europe API
• kimsufi-ca for Kimsufi North America API

Fill the application_key and the application_secret params with the values got in the previous step.

The consumer_key can be fetch in the next step.

3. Authorize the Ovh application and get the consumer_key

Make sure the ovh.conf is properly configured with endpoint, application_key and application_secret params.

Run

ovh-cli account register

and follow the instructions. At the end of the process, you'll get the consumer_key.
